1. Closure of children’s wards would be blind folly
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 29 March 2006I HAD reason to drive down the A6 into Stockport last night. Normally I avoid it like a party political broadcast but it was after 7pm so I thought it would be fairly quiet.
2. Mentally sick are once again facing betrayal by NHS
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 29 March 2006REMEMBER the old Parkside Hospital? How many distressed psychiatric patients found comfort there?
3. Reliable witnesses for accurate ‘kiss & tells’
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 22 March 2006I'M NOT sure what to make of the government warning that men should obtain proof of consent from their female partners before any act of intimacy. How exactly will this operate? Do I need to employ the services of a reliable witness? I'm not sure Mrs B will take kindly to our vicar sharing the marital bed. Maybe a sound recorder under the pillow is a better idea but what happens if the tape sticks?
4. Politician or thief – I know who I trust
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 22 March 2006I READ with interest the story of the thief who returned the charity boxes he stole refilled with his own money. He was apparently full of remorse and felt compelled to make amends.

6. People please, not automated phones
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 15 March 2006I WAS surprised to receive e-mails complaining about the "awful" telephone service at Macclesfield Town Hall.
7. Healthy eating is so ho-hum
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 8 March 2006MRS B has decided I should eat more healthily, which so far involves a set of very trendy bathroom scales and a total rethink of my traditional diet. Gone are the bacon butties, replaced by something gathered from the bottom of a budgie's cage.
8. Wheelie, I ask you!
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 8 March 2006SO FAR the detested wheelie bin has not made it to our neck of the woods, but heaven help us when it does.
9. DC Stephen Oake will forever be a hero to all of us
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 1 March 2006IN THIS era of self-aggrandisement, hidden agendas, political spin and double-speak there are few who command our genuine respect. Given the absolute botch made of policing by successive Home Office initiatives one would not expect police officers to be held in high regard... but they are.
10. Stand and deliver in the town centre
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 1 March 2006DO YOU sometimes feel that town centre shopping is like running the gauntlet?
